Caden Sold

It looks like Caden will be traveling to his new home in Minnesota the end of February. His new owner sent a deposit and it came last night. The check was given to Diane this morning and she is going to take it to the bank. It actually came at a great time, the vet bill for floating 3 horses teeth and coggins on 5 was over $630.00. Hoerr vet clinic was called today to ask about when the coggins would arrive and how much did we owe for the last vet call and the total was kind of shocking. This is another reason why we really should cut back on horses, this entire bill was just routine maintenance no emergency, just things that need to be done on a regular bases. So many people think if one has his or her own farm it is really cheap to keep a couple of horses, then find out the hard way the cost involved.

A Short Profile Paragraph

I am the 3rd child of my parents in a line-up of 11. I was the oldest girl so grew up the boss of the house. I have 3 brothers and 7 sisters. We grew up on a small farm on Baer Rd which is just on the outskirts of Peoria in a very large house, big enough to hold all 11 of us plus my parents and numerous foster children. My dad, Paul Meister was the owner of Baer Greenhouse on Baer Rd until he sold that and started Meister Brother's, a Heating and Air conditioning business which my husband and I now own and he started Meister Electric which my brother Spark owns today. My mom is Rhoda and was a stay at home mom. That's not to say she didn't work, it is a lot of work raising us and hundreds of fosters children. Mom is a great cook. She always loved horses and passed that love along to me buying our first pony for us when I was 6 years old. Our parents were members in the Apostolic Church, and brought us up to love the Lord and appreciate our church. We all gave our hearts to Jesus, gave our testimony before the congregation and were baptized, me at age 16. I married my husband at the age of 22 in our Peoria church and we have raised 5 children. All of our children also have given their hearts to Jesus and all are now married. We have 11 grandchildren so far. My sister Diane and I started Horsemeister Inc with the purchase Raven. I love this job, enjoy the horses.
